THE CONSTITUTIONALIST
FRIDAY July 30, 1875.
True aud False Democracy—Allen, of
Ohio, aud His Secret or Open Foes.
The course of the New York Herald,
Baltimore Gazette and other, so-called,
hard money papers toward Gov. Allen,
of Ohio, at one time threatened a seri
ous disruption of the Democracy of the
Buckeye State, and possibly the defeat
of their standard bearer. This was in
perfect keeping with the “ new depar
ture” programme which has several
times before blasted the party of the
people in its “hour of might.” We be
lieve now, since the speeches of Gov.
Allen himself and Hon. Geokge. H.
Pendleton, that the chances of an over
whelming Democratic victory of the
straigbtest sort is written in the book
of fate. The opposition of a number of
prominent presses to Gov. Allen is not
really founded upon his financial views
but because of his anti-GBEELEY
Philosophy sentiments. Of course, some
of the Democratic papers making war
on the Ohio champion are sincere in
their hard-money mania; but with
many others the motive of attack is
Allen’s devotion to Jeffersonian princi
ples. The men and journals claiming to
be Democratic, who made an onslaught
upon Eaton, of Connecticut, might have
been counted on to pursue a similar
course of strategy toward the old giant
of the West, who locks shields with the
gallant Senator from the Nutmeg
State. Our hope is strong that Allen
will beat the whole opposition, horse,
foot and dragoons, and beat them so
overwhelmingly that their future an
tagonism will be vain and futile. Thur-
man’s apologetic and half-hearted
course was well calculated to make the
straight-out Democracy fear for Allen’s
success; but the Governor’s grand
speech, so clear, so concise, so sympa
thetic, sd easily understood by the
masses, has more than revived his glo
rious cause and made glad the hearts
of his admirers everywhere. In our
opinion, Senator Thurman acted in an
imprudent manner, and, by allowing his
Presidential hobby to get the better of
his reason, has done more damage to
himself than to anybody else. He cut
himself off from sympathy at home,
and failed to satisfy his pertinacious
critics of the hard-money, new depar
ture school. His lead last winter lost
the Democracy thirty per cent, of its
capital, and four years of leadership
by him would carry our party to utter
ruin. Pendleton and Allen are infi
nitely superior men. With a bold fight
on the right issue, as their’s is on the
currency question, we shall gain the
day. The people want intrepid leaders
on right issues—not trimmers, time
servers and demagogues.
Official Salaries—Odious Comparisons.
A few days ago, on the first page of
this paper, the following paragraph oc
curred :
The salary of a Georgia Supreme Judge
is only $3,500 per annum. There are few
lawyers competent who would take the po
sition at the money. But, then, there is the
glory of the thing.
The Columbus Enquirer makes the
following pungent criticism ; “ There
has been a good deal of talk about the
hard work and inadequate pay of the
.* t-u-s Duineme Liourt, and we
suppose that this is what our Augusta
cotemporary alludes to. But we
very much doubt whether any
Judge of that Court does as
much work as the editor of the
Constitutionalist, and he is fortunate
among his fellows if he, either as a
newspaper proprietor or editor, gets as
much pay for his work as one of these
Judges. And why should the Judges
be so much better paid ? It is simply
because they do lawyers’ work. We
doubt the policy of increasing Judges’
salaries above §3,500, and in this case
we do not think that it is the true rem
edy for any evils that may exist. If the
work is too great for three Judges, let
the number be increased to four or five;
but do not place a higher estimate than
§3,500, in times like these, upon the
yearly work of any judicial officer. It
is not a time for extravagance, and the
State should not set the people an ex
ample of extravagance.”
We doubt if all the Supreme Judges
combined do as much hard, grinding
and unnatural work as any editor of a
leading daily in the South, especially
those who turn night into day and
perform much of the drudgery of the
paper as well as contribute to its edito
rial columns. So far as the pay is con
cerned, in comparison with that of a
Supreme Justice, we say nothing. We
simply “pass.”
Game Laws.— The Baltimore Sun sum
marizes the good results springing from
a rigid of the New York
Game Law. It is said that partridge
and quail are once more seen in neigh
borhoods where they were driven out
by indiscriminate slaughter years ago.
Deer on the mountains have increased
so fast that if the same protection is
extended to them in the future they
will doubtless reappear in ail situations
favorable to their existence. These
animals were threatened with immedi
ate extermination previous to the pas
sage of the restrictive legislation, and
their last refuges in the Adirondacks
would have been cleaned out within a
short time if unseasonable hunting
had not been prohibited.
Hard Up.—Somebody has unearthed
two letters of Jefferson and Clay,
which demonstrate that these illustri
ous men were occasionally “desperate
ly short” of “demnition cash.” If a
lack of money constituted greatness,
how many renowned characters would
now te living in the world !
Sad. —The New Orleans people con
tinue to make way with themselves.
The last case is that of an old man
who blew out his brains because he
feared to become a burden to his child
ren.
Singer. —The inventor of the Singer
sewing machine, who died recently.
Started in life as a poor mechanic. He
must have been worth many millions
q[ dollars.
Water—Some Curious Facts About It—
Clean and Unclean People.
Mark Twain was surprised when he
went to Paris, and stopped at a first
class hotel, to discover that water, not
to speak of soap, was considered a
great luxury. His opinion on that sub
ject was no jest, but an exasperating
truth, corroborated by all Americans
who have sojourned in the gay French
capital. The water of the river Seine
is, we believe, not the best for drink
ing purposes, and hence the use of
light wines as a substitute. The well
bred Briton, who takes his daily bath
as a religious duty, seldom travels on
the continent without his tin tub, and
we have read of Englishmen carrying
that prized utensil to the swamps of
Florida and beyond the Rocky Moun
tains.
It is stated, and we dare say vora
ciously, that the large majority of
mankind seldom or never wash their
bodies; some because of the scarcity of
water, and others because they are
naturally averse to contact with it.
Some years ago, a Russian frigate ar
rived at New York. The officers were
scrupulously clean, but a number of
the sailors were fairly cased in dirt of
ancient aud stubborn thickness. It
was proposed to give them one good
sousing, but this met with opposition
on the ground that such an infliction
would be “cruelty to animals.” It was
very evident from this that the Rus
sian bath was not of universal fashion.
A Queen of Spain made a vow that
she would not change her under-gar
ments until certain events came to pass.
Years elapsed before the coveted mo
ment arrived, and her soiled linen,
when removed, was of a blackish
brown color and not very sweet smell
ing. One of the prime causes of George
the Fourth’s hatred for his wife, Prin
cess Caroline, of Brunswick, was her
filthy and unkempt person. It is even
said that, at the altar, when about to
be married, he faiuted away, partly
from the effects of too much wine, but
principally because of the foulness of his
unwholesome bride. The “first gentle
man of Europe” was internally wicked,
but he kept his skin free from super
ficial dirt. Of course, it is better to be
the possessor of a stainless conscience
than a spotless body, without any
other virtue; but it is best of all to
practise cleanliness and godliness at
the same time.
We have been led to this rambling
discourse by reading in one of our ex
changes of the singular custom of the
Australians, who have but a scant
water supply and therefore use very
little of it. Speaking of the natives of
the interior of Australia, Mr. John
Forrest, recently related some of his
observations before the Royal Geo
graphical Society of London. The na
tives, he said, “are entirely without
clothing, and sleep with a fire on each
side of them, without any hut, unless
in very wet weather, when they made
a very poor shelter with wood and
thatched with grass. A native does
not wash or cook with water; all
he uses it for is to drink; there
fore a small rock cavity, with say
from twenty to one hundred gal
lons, will suffice a long while for a
number of them, and they cover it up
to keep it fro*** o' F ootin 6 .
sometimes go a long way away from
water, and get it from the roots of a
species of eucalyptus, called mallee
scrub. They choose the roots, break
them on end, when all the moisture
drains out into a wooden dish. The
traveller meets with great heaps of
these roots, and it is a bad sign when
in search of water.” He further stated
that * ‘the native Australians, instead of
washing, rub themselves all over with
fine sand (a process similar to that per
formed by the Arabs in the desert
when water is unattainable), and con
sider this equivalent to the ablution so
common in most other countries.”
In spite of the abundance of water in
America, it is reported that our people,
to a great extent, cannot be rated as first
class utilizers of such a great blessing for
ablution of their bodies. We have heard
men say that they frequently changed
their linen,but rarely washed themselves
thoroughly. At the beginning of the
last Fall, a New England editor, ejacu
lated : “ First frost of the season ; no
more washing for this deponent until
next Summer! ” Doubtless he had
many followers. Henry Clay Dean,
one of the most brilliant writers and
speakers in America, is notorious for
his disgust of water and predilection
for dirty shirts. They tell an anecdote
about him, which is probably true. A
great admirer of his intellectual gifts
asked him to spend some days at his
house. Dean consented, but was ad
mitted to the premises only on a condi
tion, exacted by the mistress of the es
tablishment, that he should take a wat
er purge and put on a Sunday shirt.
He reluctantly agreed to the first prop
osition, but frankly acknowledged
that he could not comply with
the second, because he was
the possessor of but one such gar
ment. That difficulty was settled by
borrowing the necessary article from
his host. A year afterward he re
peated his visit, with similar conditions
and results. When the old shirt—a
regular small-pox hospital rag—was
examined, it was discovered to be the
same raiment he had borrowed twelve
montiis before, and which had been
constantly worn during that length
ened period!! At the trial of the cele
brated Christopher Smart, for lunacy,
one proof addueed was his aversion to
changing his under-garments; but
Samoel Johnson, the illustrious lexi
cographer, protested against the intro
duction of such evidence, as he
defied any man to call him a luna
tic, and yet he shared with his
friend Smart a horror of purified
apparel. It is written of Johnson
likewise that he was accustomed to fre
quent a subterranean eating house.
Upon Boswell inquiring as to this freak
of fancy, he replied that there were
three powerful inducements, to-wit: he
could keep his hat on, eat with his
fingers and, after the meal, wipe his
hands on the back of a Newfoundland
deg! We guarantee that Smart and
Johnson, highly gifted as they were,
had as holy a horror of water for bath-
ing purposes as they had for immacu
late linen.
The Greeks and Romans were constant
bathers and so are the Arabians and
the Turks. It may be that even ablu
tions of water carried to luxurious ex
tremes contribute to sensuality and
effeminacy; but there is wisdom, justice
and moderation in the practice of clean
liness as well as in everything else.
Republican Responsibility for “Rag
Money.”
[Nashville Union and American ]
Here it is in a nut-shell. Those vir
tuous souls who distress themselves so
much about “rag money” should re
member that the Republican party im
posed it upon the country against the
protests of the Democracy. They must
also remember that, to re-elect him
self, Grant packed the Supreme Court,
against the protests of the Democracy,
for the purpose of reversing the legal
tender decision, which was in accord
ance with the Constitution, and which,
had it been permitted to stand, would
have settled the question of resump
tion four years ago at least. Now,
since the Republican party, by a packed
Congress and a packed Supreme Court,
has forced the “rag money” upon the
people, the Democracy insist that the
people shall have what benefits it con
fers, and that the legislation and the
legal decisions of the country shall not
always be in favor of the bondholders
and moneyed aristocracy as against the
poorer classes.
White Sulphur. —According to the
New York Times correspondence, the
White Sulphur Springs property was
originally valued at §1,200,000. Before
the war it paid good dividends; since
the war, it has yielded barely one per
cent. And now the proprietors “pro
pose to pull down the hotel and all its
attendant colonnades and rows, to sell
hotel sites, and to put up themselves
another structure lighter, more mod
ern, less cumbrous, requiring fewer
servants, and giving more accommoda
tion. It is thought that on these mag
nificent grounds will in time arise a
group of hotels, four or five, perhaps,
which will make these famous Springs
more famous, and will be to the re
stored South a greater place of gather
ing than ever this hotel was. Next
year will be the last of the old regime.
After the centennial year has passed
away the demolition will commence,
and the new hotel will probably not
open until 1878. It will be quite an era
in the social history of Virginia; it will
be a sign and a token that the old
things have passed away.”
Chandler. The Courier-Journal
punctures a great statesman thus: “It
was mentioned the other day that,
while cleaning out the house Senator
Zach Chandler occupied during one
session of Congress, they gathered up
500 dozen whiskey and champagne bot
tles. This would seem to confirm the
report that Mr. Chandler seriously
thought at one time of starting a junk
shop in Washington.”
Denial.— The Baltimore Gazette as
serts that it is not an organ cf the Na
tional Banks. It also states that it is
not a believer in the National Bank
system.
A Lady Older than the Declaration of
Independence.
[From the Charlotte (Mo.) Constitution.]
A lady of remarkable old age has
recently come to the knowledge of a
reporter of the Constitution, as living
in the northwest part of this county,
in Jackson township. The lady refer
red to is Mrs. Margaret Webb, a native
of Giles county, Va., but a resident of
this county since 1844. She was in the
city on last Saturday in company with
some of her grand-daughters, and told
our reporter that she was born in the
year 1769, and that she distinctly re
membered many of the important
events of the revolution. Her age ap
pears to be pretty well authenticated,
and she certainly is the oldest looking
person we ever saw except one, an old
man named McCalla. who died in 1853,
in Harris county, Ky., at the well au
thenticated age of one hundred and
five years, and whose mind had become
as blank as on the day of birth.
Mrs. M. Webb has six children living,
three of whom still reside in Virginia.
Her family is of the first respectability.
She has been a member of the Metho
dist Episcopal Church from her earli
est recollection, and belongs to a con
gregation of that church (South) in her
neighborhood. Notwithstanding her
great age, she is not entirely helpless,
though her feebleness, both of mind
and body, is painfully apparent, and it
cannot be long before she passes to the
scenes beyond the life on this planet.
We are assured by persons who know
something of Mrs. Webb’s history that
documents are in existence, both in this
State aud Virginia, that verify her age
as stated by herself. It may, therefore,
be stated as a fact that Livingston
county has a lady resident 106 years
old. Her husband, who has been dead
several years, was a soldier of the war
of 1812, and it was part of her business
in town last Saturday to look after a
pension that her attorney is about get
ting for her from the Government.
Plimsoll’s Victory.
[N. Y. Herald.]
In attempting to extinguish tho hu
manitarian, Plimsoll, Mr. Disraeli made
quite a mistake, as he has found out by
this time. The case of poor saiiois
sent out to sea by gambling scoundrels,
who hope they may never come back,
touched a chord of sympathy in the
British heart that throbbed to the very
unparliamentary eloquence of Mr. Plim
soll. It was not quite polite of the hu
manitarian to shake his fist at the Pre
mier of England and hint that he was
in league with certain scoundrels in
side and outside the House of Parlia
ment who made a trade of sending rot
ten ships to sea in order that they might
be lost and these same scoundrels
grow rich on the insurance money.
But, unfortunately, these charges are
notoriously true, and somehow Jack
Tars have always been favorites in the
“tight little island,” and the people will
not see them cheated out of their lives
if they can help it. Therefore, when
Mr. Disraeli turned the good-hearted
Plimsoll out of doors because he ob
jected to a bill being cast aside that af
fected the lives of thousands of Jack
Tars, and Plimsoll shook his fist at the
Government benches, all England—all
that England, at least, that loves hon
esty of purpose and fair play and Jack
Tars—shook its fist also at the Gov
ernment benGho*, and Mr. Disraeli finds
he has made a mistake. So the Gov
ernment has resolved to back down,
and some law will be passed to prevent
“scoundrels inside and outside of Par
liament” trading in the lives of the
honest sailors, and this result is chiefly
due to the unparliamentary shaking of
good-natured* Mr. Plimsolrs fist.
